    You can't just have Haggis on it's own like that, it would be really dry. You need to try it as Haggis, Neeps and Tatties, which is basically Haggis with mashed swede and mashed potato. It's best served with a whisky and cream sauce. I work as a Chef in Devon, but my boss used to own business in Scotland for a few years and likes to bring Scottish food to the South West. As someone else said in the comments Caledonian Chicken is also delicious which is Chicken rolled and stuffed with Haggis, which again goes well with the whiskey and cream sauce too. Apologies to any Scots if it's not traditional to them how we have done it, I'm half english and half Irish so don't blame me haha :D Also Toad in the Hole simply has to be with freshly made Yorkshire Pudding. Pre-made shop bought ones just aren't the same. It 's also much better with some nice homemade onion gravy to stop it being dry.

    America has a brown sauce known a A-1 sauce. From what I understand, the British took it tonAmerica. The trifle needs vanilla wafers layered between the layers.

    A traditional extra with a Welsh breakfast is Laver Bread. It does not contain bread or laver! It is a seaweed based spread of boiled Irish Sea seaweed. It is very unappealing to look at but rolled with oatmeal it is added to a fried breakfast. For dessert try Welsh Cakes, a flat scone/pancake griddled on a bakestone. Another Welsh dessert is Bara Brith (Speckled Bread). It's a dark enriched flour fruit cake where the currants and raisins have been steeped in tea. Usually eaten cold but often buttered.

      That would be unheard of in Staffordshire it's a given law that you must try a oatcake with various fillings and entice visitors to do the same,if not you should be pilloried and shamed in front of the Gladstone Bottle Oven Museum ;-)

      It isn’t a Welsh dish. It’s English. They also called it Scotch Rabbit. Welsh and Scotch in this context is pejorative, meaning it’s probably the best that the peasants could afford, they couldn’t afford the real thing (rabbit).

    You'd be the perfect dinner guest! Welsh rarebit, by the way, should have a little stout (dark beer) in the cheese mixture with the mustard and you can also add a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Done properly, it's worth 15 out of 10.

My personal favourites are cheese scones, scotch pies, macaroni and cheese pies, perkins biscuits, shortbread, ecclefechan tart, border tart, macaroons, gingerbread, tipsy laird (a cake and fruit dowsed in sherry), and other wonderful things. My local bakery does 4 individual cakes for £1.

    The major flavour with HP sauce is Tamarind, which is a weird looking thing which looks like a cat turd, breaks like a peanut shell, inside are seeds surrounded by a sweet, very tart goo which is held together by this weird organic net. You eat the sweet goo.
